Pros

This is a large pharmaceutical company. You will have many opportunities to use your skills with diverse responsibilities. If you are interested in honing your work in the medical/pharmaceutical field, this is a good place to learn.

Cons

As contractor, you are not seen as a "real" employee, and are sometimes seen as a second class citizen. This is becoming more typical in the corporate world. You are hired to do a specific job or task unit, and once that is done, you may be let go until another opportunity comes up. This can be tough on people who are conscientious workers who want to grow with the company.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
